Ducru-Beaucaillou - 1998 (750ml) Size:750ml this is a fabulous example

this is a fabulous example of a Fleur de Gay and a wine that seems capable of lasting at least another two decades

medium to full-bodied effort should drink well for 4-5 years

This is relatively refined in the context of what is typically a robust appellation thanks to the very fine grain of the supporting structure

Ducru-Beaucaillou - 1998 (750ml) Size:750ml this is a fabulous exampleA supremely elegant, dense purple colored effort, the 1998 reveals aromas of cassis, black raspberries, minerals, and currants. Precise, well delineated, and medium to full bodied, with magnificent purity and understated elegance, this noble, restrained wine reveals a tannic finish, suggesting 4 5 more years of cellaring is warranted. Anticipated maturity: 2005 2025. Robert Parker 91 points
